What you'll learn

The ability to tie together the “islands” of patient visits/interaction and related physiological monitoring information for a comprehensive and integrated view of patient information across the continuum of care is dependent on IT. Learn how Northwell Health is approaching the application of technology to better support patient care.

During this webinar you will learn:

Specific examples of how IT eliminates boundaries to improve patient care delivery

How larger institutional strategy directly impacts IT decisions

An approach to innovation and piloting technologies prior to large-scale clinical roll out
